Low Miles 1989 BMW E30 325i

Description for BMW 3-Series 1989

Up for sale is my 1989 BMW 325i in metallic grey. It has done only 53k miles since it left the showroom and is still in excellent condition. For those who may not be aware. 1989 is considered by many E30 enthusiasts to be the most desirable production year mainly because it already incorporates plastic bumpers of the facelift model instead of the big metal ones from previous years while still being equipped with a regular steering wheel instead of the gigantic airbag one that came from factory in many cars built in late 1989. 990 and 91. It was a one owner car until nov2013 and the reason i am selling it is because i found another e30 325i that serves my needs a little bit better (bit older. with more mileage so i dont have to worry too much about parking it on the street now that i m moving and losing one parking spot). Since i bought the car. at 51. 7k miles on the odometer. i have addressed a few maintenance points and also made a few modifications in order to make the car a bit sportier without interfering too much with its OEM look. Let me list what has being done during my ownership:- new timing belt- new water pump- new alternator- new front shocks- new batteryI don't have the receipts of service work for the water pump and timing belt because it was changed by the previous owner himself before delivering the car to me (he s a real e30 enthusiast who performs most of the services himself). I should have records for everything else. on top of that the service booklet also has records of some of the maintenance service of the car- original bottle caps wheels swapped to 15in BBS euroweaves (in excellent condition)- standard e30 steering wheel replaced by Mtech1 wheel- bmw leather shift knob replaced the old plastic one- sport leather seats in black from a 325is replaced the original vinyl comfort ones- new H&R OE sport springs replaced the original ones for a sportier stance- OEM exhaust with chromed tips- tinted windows (not too dark)The car has a clean carfax. straight body. no history or evidence of accidents and absolutely no rust. i didnt actually check for EVERY SINGLE vin tag. such as the ones on the inside part of bumpers. but from what i can tell the car has matching vin tags in all panels. The original painting still shines very nicely and is in good condition (although not excellent). there re a few minor scratches and one small ding on the hood (pictured) . there s no pictures of the wheel caps. but they re not missing. i just prefer the look without and keep them at home. In my honest opinion the interior is in excellent condition. the original seats have been replaced by sport ones from a similar mileage car and look great (no rips. tears. leather still soft). the AC blows cold and have already been upgraded to R134 by the first owner; electric mirrors. windows. onboard computer all work as they should and there re no funny alert lights going off. dashboard is crack free and the odometer works. The spare tire and jack have probably never been touched. Interior and trunk carpet have no stain. Antenna still goes up and down when you turn the radio. The original steering wheel will be included and although very unlikely. if the buyer prefers to have the car delivered with the factory comfort seats (mint condition). i can arrange that too because they re just sitting on a shelf at my mechanic shop. If it was up to me. I would not swap back since the sport seats are in great shape and in my opinion does make the interior look much nicer. but i m just mentioning because the seat swap prior to delivery can definitely be done. There s one bad thing to mention. the sunroof coat seems to be slightly fading and it s shade looks a bit lighter than the rest of the car depending on how much light you have outside. pictures included so you can take your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions and i ll do my best to answer in the best possible way; nice E30's are becoming harder to find and this particular one is an excellent car that wont disappoint you. For those truly interested i have many more pictures of the car (exterior. interior. underside) since it looks like ebay only allowed to post 24. The car is sold as is and therefore there is no warranty or any kind of insurance included. A non refundable deposit of 300 dollars is expected within 24h of the end of the auction and the balance within 7 days.
